Description

  The present invention relates to a navigation apparatus and method in navigation using a mobile terminal with a navigation function and capable of receiving store information. For example, a store that has been in the past, the number of times the store has been visited, and a stop By accumulating information such as time, it is possible to preferentially filter and display store information with a higher operator priority, so that the operator can determine the destination, and the method, and the operator priority. The present invention relates to a function and a method for determining store information and a priority for a genre by adding destination store information.

  In recent years, mobile terminal devices with a navigation function have been widely used, and in particular, the number of users of vehicle-mounted navigation devices has increased. In a conventional vehicle-mounted navigation device, an operator performs navigation by specifying a destination. Therefore, the travel information is accumulated in the vehicle-mounted navigation device, and the store information with respect to the travel information is collated to determine the operator's hobby preference and provide navigation more suited to the operator's hobby preference.

Special table 2003-529054

  In a conventional mobile terminal with a navigation function, navigation is performed by registering the operator's hobbies and preferences in advance, but the past movement information is not particularly referred to. Therefore, it is assumed that the travel information is accumulated in the mobile terminal with the navigation function, the store information is determined therefrom, and the stored store information is used as a criterion for determining the hobby preference of the operator. As a result, it is possible to determine the operator's hobby preference with higher accuracy based on the behavior of the operator, and to determine the operator's hobby preference with higher accuracy by continuously storing the movement information of the operator. We propose a method that can use past movement information effectively.

  The present invention accumulates movement information of a mobile terminal with a navigation function in a data table, determines store information, assumes an operator's behavior pattern, and has a data table reflecting the operator's hobbies and preferences from time to time. It is possible to determine and narrow down and provide information with high priority that matches the operator's action.

  The information provided refers to the commercial information that each company sends to the unspecified majority, and it matches the operator's hobby preference determined from the movement information without the operator's conscious selection. A mobile terminal with a navigation function can provide commercial information after filtering.

  The effect of the present invention is that the commercial information sent by each company to the unspecified majority is judged and narrowed down according to the operator's hobbies and preferences, and high priority information required at that time is obtained. I can do it. In addition, more effective advertising effects can be obtained in each company that sends commercial information.

  The provision form of the present invention will be described in the following examples with reference to the drawings.

  The overall configuration will be described with reference to FIG. It is assumed that there is an environment in which the commercial information 200 from each company 100 can be transmitted to an in-vehicle navigation device 140 mounted on a vehicle traveling on an unspecified number of vehicles. Regarding the transmission of the commercial information 200, a method that the company 120 that provides a service that collects and transmits the commercial information 200 from each company 100 on its behalf, or each company 100 builds its own network 110, Commercial information 200 is transmitted.

  The vehicle-mounted navigation device 140 that receives the commercial information 200 includes an external interface unit 142, a processor unit 143, a user interface unit 141, a memory unit 144, and a display unit 145 that receive commercial information from each company 100. Store information such as commercial information can be displayed and notified to the user on the display unit. The memory unit 144 holds a primary profile table 1000, a secondary profile table 1102, a tertiary profile table 400, a time stamp table 600, and a store data table 800.

  A commercial information structure 200 transmitted from each company 100 is shown in FIG. The commercial information 200 includes header information 280 and commercial information 270 including classification (1) 210, classification (2) 220, store name 230, location information 240, opening / closing time information 250, and classification (3) 260. Then, it is taken into the vehicle-mounted navigation device 140 via the external interface unit 142.

The user registers the classification item desired by the user in advance and records it as a primary profile. At that time, by specifying the priority for the classification item, it will be used as a future criterion.
When recording as a primary profile in advance, the priority is set to 3 of 5 grades as a standard value. 5 is the maximum value and 1 is the minimum value. And from the location information and store information obtained by acquiring and accumulating the user's actual travel information, by assuming the user's hobby preference by the number of stops, the stop time, etc. A secondary profile reflecting hobbies and preferences is generated. In addition, a tertiary profile is created that reflects and reflects the store information that is likely to stop by the action purpose at the time of starting driving, and is filtered by referring to the commercial information that has been received and stored once. The commercial information of the store determined to have a high priority for is provided to the user.

  The above flow will be described as an example of the present invention, taking as an example the behavior of a user who uses a family restaurant on his way home from work on a weekday night.

  The flow of filtering the commercial information 200 will be described with reference to FIG. When the user 310 starts driving the vehicle, the destination and the travel time information 320 and the secondary profile table 330 are referred to, the conditions are narrowed down according to the current action purpose (340), and the tertiary profile table 350 is generated. The tertiary profile table 360 allows the commercial information 200 received and temporarily stored to be filtered, and displayed on the screen display 370 to be displayed and notified to the user. A tertiary profile table configuration 400 is shown in FIG. Reflecting the classification (1) 410, classification (2) 420, store information 430, stop count 440, location information 450, store opening time 460, priority 470 generated by narrowing down the secondary profile table 1100 according to the purpose of action A tertiary profile table configuration 400 is assumed.

  Here, when the user starts to drive the vehicle from the office at home on weekday night, the secondary profile table 1100 is referred to, and the priority of the family restaurant store A having a priority of 3 or higher is high. It is judged and displayed, it is judged that there is a high possibility of stopping at the family restaurant store A with reference to the tertiary profile table 400 created by narrowing down the conditions from the current action purpose, received and accumulated once The commercial information 200 of the family restaurant store A can be filtered from the existing commercial information 200 and displayed to the user for notification.

  The creation of the secondary profile table 1100 will be described as follows.

  A method of acquiring and storing user travel information will be described with reference to FIG. Every time the vehicle moves (510), the position information is collected periodically (520), the position information is acquired (530), and the acquired time stamp information is written in the time stamp table (540). As a result, a time stamp table 600 is generated, vehicle position information is periodically recorded, and if there is no change in position information for a certain time at a certain point, it can be determined that the vehicle is stopped. It is. A time stamp table configuration 600 is shown in FIG. The time stamp information acquired periodically is recorded in the time stamp table 600 as time information 610 and location information 620.

  A method for accumulating store data will be described with reference to FIG. If there is a change in the position information with reference to the time stamp table 710 (720), the map data is compared with the time stamp (730), the store information is identified (740), and written to the store data table (770) . Therefore, when the store information corresponding to the stop position corresponds to a plurality of stores (750), the store information is selected by the user operation (760) and written in the store data table (770). Thereby, a store data table (800) is generated, and it is possible to obtain store information where the vehicle has stopped, the number of stops, the stop time, and the like from the time stamp information. A store data table configuration (800) is shown in FIG. The store information 820 is determined from the location information 810 of the time stamp table 600 by comparing it with the map data, the stop time 830 is calculated, the number of stops 840 is counted and recorded in the store data table 800.

  Here, it is assumed that the point where the user has stopped is specified as the family restaurant store A.

  A method for updating the contents of the primary profile table 1000 from the stored store data table to the secondary profile table 1100 will be described with reference to FIG. By referring to the store data table 910 and the primary profile table 920, the user's hobby preference is assumed based on the number of stops and the stop time (930), and the primary profile table is rewritten from the secondary profile table to add items. Perform (940).

  The user registers the classification 1 and the classification 2 in advance in the vehicle-mounted navigation device 140 based on the user's hobbies and records them in the vehicle-mounted navigation device 140 as a primary profile table (1000). The primary profile table configuration (1000) is shown in FIG. The user selects a category 1 at 1010 and selects a category 2 at 1020 to register a basic hobby preference profile.

  Here, it is assumed that the user selects only category 1: meal / category 2: fast food, and standard value 3 is registered in priority column 1070.

  A secondary profile table configuration 1100 is shown in FIG. The user's hobby preferences (930), assuming the user's hobby preferences according to the number of stops, stoppage time, etc., are classified into category 1 (1110), category 2 (1120), store information (1130), stop count (1140), location information (1150) ), Opening time (1160), and priority (1170) are reflected in the secondary profile table configuration (1100). The secondary profile table 1100 refers to the content of commercial information received and temporarily stored, and periodically compares it with the 10001 primary profile to determine priority and update the table information.

  Here, since it is determined from the stop count item 1140 that the user has stopped at the family restaurant store A more than a certain number of times from the travel information of the user, the priority (1170) of the family restaurant store A is added.

  This is the end of the description of creating the secondary profile table 1100.

  In this way, the tertiary profile is referenced each time by referring to the secondary profile table 1100 reflecting the user's hobbies with higher accuracy from the past user's travel information from the location, destination and travel time information of the start of travel of the vehicle. By creating the table 400 and referring to the commercial information 200 that has been received and stored once, the store information that is considered to have high priority at that time is judged for the user at that time, and the commercial information 200 is filtered. Can be provided.

  FIG. 12 shows a flow in which the primary profile table 1000 transitions to the tertiary profile table 400 through the secondary profile table 1100. In the primary profile table 1000, classification 1: meal / classification 2: From the state in which the priority of fast food is registered, the secondary profile table 1100 is divided by referring to the map information from the position information obtained from the action information. The stored store information represents a state in which the priority of the family restaurant store A is added as compared with the primary profile table 1000. Further, the tertiary profile table 400 narrows down the items that are likely to stop by the action purpose at the time when the user starts driving the vehicle, performs filtering by referring to the commercial information 200 that has been received and temporarily stored, and performs the action purpose. This represents a state in which store information with a priority with respect to a certain number is displayed.

  Here, store information having a priority of 3 or higher in the tertiary profile table 400 is displayed. Shaded items represent store information that is not displayed.

  Since it is not necessary to add a new hardware device to an existing mobile terminal with a navigation function, it can be applied to all mobile terminals with a navigation function.
